Mazovia is a region that can pleasantly surprise families with children. Although Warsaw has its "must see" spots, such as the Copernicus Science Centre or the Zoo, the voivodeship offers much more. Amusement parks, family museums, lakes, and unusual attractions mean you don’t have to travel far to have an unforgettable weekend.
